                                            How effectively are bugs being found, fixed, and closed? Bug rates are best interpreted relative to all of the current team project activities and the other metrics on the Quality Indicators graph. For example, a high find-rate may be a sign of poorly written code, newly integrated code, or effective testing, or exceptional events such as a bug bash. On the other hand, a low find rate may mean high quality product or ineffective testing. Use code coverage, code churn, and test rates to help you assess the meaning.</p>

This can occur for several reasons. The tests may be too gentle for this stage of the product. In early iterations, gentle tests are good, but as the product matures, tests should exercise broader scenarios and integrations. Tests might be stale or be testing the wrong functionality. Finally, it may be time to switch test techniques.</p></div>
